Moscow 24

What Moscow 24 does

Moscow 24 is the official city information channel and digital news portal of Moscow, operated by AO "Moscow Media" JSC, a media holding company owned by the Moscow city government through the Moscow Department of Mass Media and Advertising. Founded in 2012 and registered with Roskomnadzor in 2013, the company delivers round-the-clock Moscow-focused news, traffic updates, weather information, and municipal announcements across a 24-hour TV channel, an FM radio station (Radio Moscow), and the website m24.ru. Content is also distributed across Telegram, VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Rutube, TikTok, Max, and X, providing multi-platform reach to Moscow's residents. Editorial output includes news bulletins, talk shows, special projects, educational documentaries (Познавательный фильм), and seasonal campaigns such as "Лето в Москве" (Summer in Moscow).

The platform employs recommendation technologies to personalize content delivery on its digital properties, though no proprietary AI/ML systems are disclosed. The company reports a small editorial footprint (1-10 employees on the listed entity), with most operational scale likely consolidated within the parent AO Moscow Media JSC.

Moscow 24 operates a free-to-access, advertising-supported business model, generating revenue through ad placement across its TV, radio, and digital surfaces. As a government-affiliated municipal media asset, the channel's economics are supplemented by structural support from the Moscow city government, making it the de facto official information channel for municipal announcements and city life coverage rather than a purely commercial media property.

• REN TV: REN TV is a Russian federal broadcaster with a continuous news block and digital platform offering news, investigations, and lifestyle content. Its combined TV-plus-digital ad-supported model is structurally similar to Moscow 24.
• NY1 (Charter Spectrum): NY1 is a 24-hour city-focused news channel serving New York City, with linear TV and digital streaming distribution. Its mission to provide round-the-clock city and traffic news is directly analogous to Moscow 24's civic-information role.

• TASS (Russian News Agency): TASS is Russia's state-owned news agency producing continuous text, photo, and video news across the country and globally. Its multi-format digital news distribution and state affiliation put it in the same operating peer set as Moscow 24.

Others
